Yes you can bring up unrelated concepts in any discussion. That does not mean that people have to take you seriously or that you will not sound comically ignorant. pg did not consult me when he picked dang for the HN moderator. Can I cite the 26th amendment and demand that pg consider my vote for rdl?
